When U.S. Documents Are Needed in Philippines

The Philippines joined the Hague Apostille Convention on May 14, 2019. Since that date, the country has accepted apostilled documents instead of the older embassy legalization steps. Any U.S. document used in the Philippines must carry a Hague Apostille from the correct American authority. Philippine offices do not accept uncertified documents for official use.

Applicants often present U.S. records during job applications, school enrollment, and immigration reviews. Government agencies in the Philippines examine each document carefully.

They request apostilled U.S. files during work visa processing, marriage registration, real estate transactions, and retirement resident applications. Many applicants also use apostilled records for adoption cases, business formation, and contract approvals.

The apostille verifies that the signature, seal, and issuing authority on the document are genuine. The steps vary based on the state where the record was created. After the apostille is attached, some Philippine institutions may request a certified translation into Filipino or English according to their internal requirements. These translations take place only after the apostille has been completed.
